What is your favourite B-Side? Mine is Boomernag II from the Pride single. It's just awesome. It's sound is very similar to the War album. Maybe that's why it was left of the The Unforgettable Fire album.

Ahhh those are so good! The day I bought the Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses single, I listened to Paint it Black about eight times in a row. Really rare that they cover someone else's songs so well.
i think "Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk/Korova 1" from the Fly single is the most special b side and probably the most non u2 thing they have done. i think it's a genius masterpiece.
It changes daily. One day it's Lady with the Spinning Head, on the other day it's Luminous Times, next day it's Dancing Barefoot... today I guess my all time No.1 b-side is the Room at the Heartbreak Hotel.
for me Love comes tumbling down is not only the best b side but also one of the best u2 songs; however a lot of b side from The unforgettable fire and joshua tree are very good
